What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes And Sore Throat?

My daughter has a large white pus pocket on the very back of her tongue. She's had a terrible sore throat since Dec 20th. Had a negative strep test Dec 21. Now she's got this large pus pocket, swollen lymph nodes and a very sore throat. Her doctor just called in amoxicillan, is that going to take care of this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from throat infection that can be Bacterial throat infection also known as Strep throat or can also be due to viral infection..

The symptoms of throat pain that is Pharyngitis along with inflamed tonsils that is Tonsillitis, abscess over tongue and swollen lymph nodes seems to be due to it..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics that you are already given as Amoxicillin and will definitely help..
You also need to take anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
